[Diabetes-talk] Heart attack

Wed Jun 4 17:31:57 UTC 2014

Frankly, having watched this with my hubby, I really don't like how we treat
people after something like this. Blame and over-simplify, that seems to be
the American way these days. Yes, food can be a part of the picture. But
they should make it part of the picture and say, here's what might be a good
idea, etc. According to the information we got in the cardiac classes, one
of the biggest contributors to high cholesterol is stress. And cholesterol
is only one part of the picture. And truly, if you want people to change
behavior, you sure aren't going to do it by making them defensive. And I
think there are plenty of ways to educate people without doing the "you were
bad bad bad" routine. Even if you were, okay, it's done and now we have to
move on. Everyone seems to have gone to positive training for animals
because it makes them so much happier and gets better results, supposedly,
but we hang on to negative for the humans. Why? My theory is that if we can
blame the person for whatever happens, then we can rationalize, I don't do
that so it won't happen to me. Of course, sometimes we do actually do things
that hurt us in the end and sometimes we can be angels and bad stuff still
happens. I just wish we'd show more compassion and creativity in the whole
process. 
And Dar, I'll see if I can remember the name of this really cool web site I
found a few years ago where you'd send in your recipes, tell them how you
wanted to adapt them, less sugar, less salt or whatever and they'd send you
back the revised recipe. But it might be fun to search for such a thing. I
hope you can find someone that helps you make cooking and eating fun, rather
than a medical model. You should be able to enjoy the life you still have.
<grin> 
Hope you feel better soon.

Dar,

Mrs. Dash comes in different flavors, but you can mix up your own favorites.

Just buy individual bottles of spices like pepper,onion, garlic, etc. and 
season things as you like.  You can also use fresh onion, garlic, basel, etc

for flavor.   Ask your doctor what your daily limit on the sodium is and 
that will help you too.

Eileen

Hi folks
Wanted to share that I had a heart attack, was asked not to go to
convention this year.
They thought it might be to much for me.
I have two stints put in and had three blocked arteries 90 percent.
I can walk around the park one time.
this happened two weeks ago.
what angers me, is everyone thinks it was the bad foods I ate and they
need to teach me how to eat.
this isn't true, this comes from the family.
They looked at my cholesteral where the bad is 66.
They tell you no salt and walk away.
Well I need to be guided, hoping to get into an exercising program over
at the clinic as soon as I can.
Then I will learn more.
Want to do a turkey breast in the crock pot.
I have done this forever, don't know what seasoning I can use to have 
flavor.
Don't care for bland meats.
I have a small bit of misses dash with garlic and such.
It is hard to find anything with out salt.
Just wanted to share.
Have a happy convention.
